It also provides an opportunity to explore other degree programs and learn the fundamentals of being successful in college.

Transfer Experience

Our variety of transfer services offer assistance for all students interested in transferring from their current university to Palm Beach Atlantic. To assist you in the process, transcript evaluation, first semester registration, degree planning, workshops and advising are made available. Transfer students are encouraged to become a member of the Transfer Club or Transfer Peer Mentors to encourage social and academic support, allowing new students to successfully transition to PBA.
